Dear Parents/Guardians,

 

Happy Thanksgiving Day Everyone!  I hope you are out enjoying this beautiful weather with your family and friends.  See you all on Tuesday.

 

Reminders:

Please remember to keep your children home if they are not feeling well.  We have had to send several students home who have come to school sick.  We are trying to keep everyone safe.  Please follow these guidelines.

Please remind your child not to bring toys or other sports equipment from home to school unless it is requested by the classroom teacher.  Electronics should also stay at home as well.  Thank you for your continued help with this policy.

If your child is going to be away from school, it is important to email your child’s teacher to let them know directly. Also, if you plan to pick up your child early, please email their teacher as well please.  No need to call the office. I have attached a list of email addresses in case you do not have the teacher’s email.

ON THE PLAYGROUND:

1.     Please do not bring your dog on the school grounds.

2.     Make a meeting spot for you and your child after school so that you can locate each other.  If all else fails, come to the office please.

3.     Bikes and scooters, or anything with wheels need to be walked on the playground please.
